Madam Speaker, I think it was very appropriate for the member to mention that today the price of West Texas Intermediate was around $50 a barrel. I would say to my Conservative friends, who are always champions of the free market, that I think it is important for the House to understand that the price of oil is at a level which is completely unsustainable to support oil sands development.
We are looking at where we need to go in the future and the ways in which we need to diversify the economy, particularly in Alberta.
I am wondering if my hon. colleague across the way has heard of the organization Iron & Earth, which is made up of oil sands workers and people who are in the oil and gas industry, workers who are interested in transitioning their skill set away from oil and gas into the renewable energy economy of the future. Could the member offer some comments to the House on how worthwhile that project is, as it is led by workers who are in the oil and gas industry?
